You must have a very uninteresting job, Toby,
if all the work you do is officially supported.
More than half of the work I do is skunkwork,
unofficial, unsupported - and my bosses realize
it, and thank me for it the maybe 25% of the
time that my "extra" work turns out to be a good
idea, and makes a few billion dollars.
"Unofficial" just means that I don't have a budget for it,
can't hire IT to allocate space on a server, etc.
It must be very boring to just do what you're told.
